I hope I can explain this properly. I’ve got this cooking script I’ve made, that at its core is a “Item01” + “Item02” = “Item03”, where the player selects the two items, and upon pressing a button then Item03 is created. I’m trying to avoid a few hundred lines of:
if Item01 or Item02 == 'PeanutButter' and Item01 or Item02== 'Bread'
then Plr.Stats[Item01].Value = Plr.Stats[Item01].Value -1
Plr.Stats[Item02].Value = Plr.Stats[Item02].Value -1
local Result = 'Sandwich'
local FinalResultImage = 'xxxxxx'
Plr.Stats[Result].Value = Plr.Stats[Result].Value +1
ResultFinalResult.Image = 'rbxassetid://'..FinalResultImage
ResultMsg.Text = 'You have created: '..Result ..'!'
ResultBtn.Visible = true
wait(5)
ResultBtn.Visible = false
end
I’m not very well versed on tables, or arrays, but I’d like to set up to where if Item01 is A,B,C,D, and Item02 is E,F,G,H,I then item03 will be J. I’ve read the wiki links on tables and arrays, and readily admit I am quite confused by them. Would it be something like this?
local ComboA = {"Bread","PeanutButter","Jelly"}
local ComboB = {"Bread","PeanutButter",}
local ResultAB = 'Sandwich'
if Item01 == ComboA and Item02 == ComboB then
Plr.Stats[Item01].Value = Plr.Stats[Item01].Value -1
Plr.Stats[Item02].Value = Plr.Stats[Item02].Value -1
local CraftedResult = ResultAB
local FinalResultImage = 'XXXXXX'
Plr.Stats[CraftedResult].Value = Plr.Stats[CraftedResult].Value +1
ResultFinalResult.Image = 'rbxassetid://'..FinalResultImage
ResultMsg.Text = 'You have created: '..ResultAB..'!'
ResultBtn.Visible = true wait(5)
ResultBtn.Visible = false
end
Thoughts on the best way to achieve this? Thank you!
(sorry last time didn’t work lol, heres a better version)
use a larger table that includes all combinations and then see if the current player’s combination is classified as that:
e.g.
local PeanutButterJelly = {
{"Bread","PeanutButter","Jelly"};
{"Bread","PeanutButter",};
}
-- player makes sandwich
local CurrentIngredients = {"Bread", "Jelly", "PeanutButter"};
for _, v in pairs(PeanutButterJelly) do
local matches = 0
for _, b in pairs(CurrentIngredients) do
if table.find(v, b) and #v == #CurrentIngredients then
matches += 1
end
end
if matches == #v then
print("made pbj!")
break
end
end
Thank you for the script help! What you’ve provided does work! If I can get more of your time, how can I adapt this for the script to check multiple recipes? I’ve included the full remote event script I have below for reference with notes/questions. I want to make sure I’m understanding this fully. Thank you again!
